This is my very first review on this site. My wife and I are both lifelong Christians. She's also a big movie buff. Because of her abundant exposure to movies, she tends to be a bit skeptical toward the genre of Christian movies (One exception is the movie "Fireproof" -- she really liked that one). Since I'm not as picky about my movies, I have decided to go on a binge of Christian movies, in hopes of finding one or two that will impress her. Unfortunately, I don't think this one will make the cut.
The positives: I loved the plot! It was a well-written story about an extremely rebellious teenager who turns it around after an encounter with God. Also, as a former HS tennis player myself, I enjoyed that part of the story as well.
The negatives: I'm sorry, but I wasn't very impressed by the acting. I think the girl who played Sara did decently, but the rest really weren't that great. That being said, I understand the vast majority of the cast were amateurs.
The above comment states that this was an LDS-based movie. Not that I have a problem with that, but if that's the case, I completely missed that detail while watching the movie. Anyway, I think that's all from me.
